I am in the Air Force and stationed in Germany at the moment. I am currently using my landlord's wireless. How can I extend it with my Time Capsule?

They only have dial-up out here, so my landlord got satellite internet. I have tried to ask them to give me a ethernet hook-up but they won't because it would be too much installation, so I have to use their internet using there wireless. I would like to pick up their wireless and rebroadcast it with my time capsule so my home network will still function without having to switch everything to their network and be able to get a stronger network and also be able to backup my iMac.

can you have multiple time capsules on the same network?

Looking to replace my first gen Time Capsule with a newer model with more HDD and dual-band capacity. Can I keep my old TC on the network when I upgrade to the new one and put the old one in bridge mode to expand the wireless network? And can I backup to BOTh devices, either redundantly or assigning different devices to different TC’s?

In terms of dual-band, am I better off using the old TC to create a separate network for b/g devices and use the new one exclusively for n devices, or will the new one handle dual-band adequately so the b/g signals won’t slow down n devices?

Can you have 2 time capsules set up in your wireless network?

Like for example if you have lots of laptops that you want to connect to time capsule but not enough space. Also to extend your wireless network. can you setup 2 time capsules and an airport express together? Thanks!

Setup Apple TV with Time Capsule

I have a recent iMac and Mac Notebook set up using a Time Capsule 1TB.
Both Macs can access the internet and use the Time Capsule's disk.
I now want to add Apple TV to the setup.
I'd like to use Apple TV to:
View pictures and movies stored on my Macs on my HD TV (LCD)
Is there a help document that outlines the set-up procedure using the Time Capsule wireless network?
Can screen display windows on my Mac(s) be sent to (mirrored) on the HV TV?
Can applications like Adobe Bridge be used to display images (through Apple TV) to the HD TV?
Thanks

Can I connect computers to each-other through a time capsule to share files?.

I have an Imac connected to a Time capsule via an ethernet cable for internet, slingbox and backups and have a Macbook pro that uses the TC wireless network to connect to the internet. Both macs see the time capsule no problem, but cannot see each other. Is there a way of setting up my home network so my two computers can see each other as well as the TC?.

Using Time Capsule with an existing network

I'm wondering if the Time Capsule will be right for my home and current setup;

At the moment, my main router (with wifi) is on the ground floor. The middle floor has an ethernet switch (connected to the main router) and the top floor has an ethernet switch (connected to the switch on the middle floor).

If I connected the Time Capsule to the switch on the top floor, could I use it as a wifi hotspot? (I barely get a signal on the top floor, so it'd be great if I could)

Would I be able to access the Time Capsule backup from any floor? Even if I was connected to the main routers' wifi and not the Time Capsule wifi?

Could I connect devices by ethernet to the Time Capsule? If I do, could that device connect to all other devices on the network or just devices on the Time Capsule?

What security do I have available to stop other people on the network from accessing my backup on the Time Capsule and the settings for the Time Capsule?

I have a Time Capsule as the hub of my network, I have two other airport extremes connected wirelessly to bridge the network right now.

How, and what would it change if I could extend the network (bridge) over ehternet? For example, I have an ethernet port in my upstairs office, but the Time Capsule is down on the opposite end of the house in the basement (my house has 3 floors). Would it be faster, stronger, and just better to extend over ethernet?
Thank you!

can I use time capsule to wirelessly back up my mac via time machine without connecting to a wifi network or using it as a wireless router?

Can Time Capsule be used interchangeably with PC and Mac?

I'm looking at purchasing a Time Capsule and Mac Mini but have a few questions before I make the investment. First, would I be able to backup my files from my old desktop PC to the Time Capsule? The TC would be in an existing wireless network at one residence while backing up the PC. Then I would want to bring the TC to another residence with another existing wireless network where I would have the Mini, my iPad 2, iPhone 4 and iPod touch. If adding the TC to the second existing wireless network, would I still have the ability to wirelessly back up my Mini and iOS devices? Basically I've got an old desktop at my dad's house that I want to back up and then bring the TC to my apartment where I use my landlord's wireless Internet.
